About Us

The mission of Scott County Public Service Authority is to provide all people in Scott County access to an adequate supply of affordable, safe drinking water and to serve the Duffield, Gate City, and Weber City areas with effective and reliable sewer service. SCPSA operates on revenue from water and sewer bills and do not receive tax revenue. We were established in 1972 by the Scott County Board of Supervisors. Prior to 2000, SCPSA consisted mainly of water systems in the Hiltons, East Carters Valley, and Duffield/Pattonsville areas and the Holston Regional Sewer System in Weber City. In 2001, we obtained the Moccasin Gap Sanitation District Commission water system in Weber City and the Duffield Development Authority water and wastewater systems. From 2000 to 2016, the Scott County PSA constructed 38 drinking water projects and 3 sewer projects. During that time we experienced rapid growth as our number of customers expanded from just over 1,000 persons to approximately 12,000. As of 2017, there were about 7,500 persons not receiving public water service in Scott County. Of these, a significant percentage obtain their water from inadequate or unsafe groundwater wells and springs. It is the goal of the PSA to extend our water system to supply water to those residents in need of and desiring public water.

Alert

If you are on Nickelsville Highway/Route 71, look for our latest water construction project. On May 30, Little B of Castlewood, Virginia, began construction of Phase 1 of the Big Moccasin Water System, our latest effort to bring public water to unserved areas of the County. This new water system will get water via the Gate City waterworks. The Big Moccasin water mains will begin just east of Mountain View Market and extend to Pin Oak Circle. With sufficient funding, we plan on future phases of the Big Moccasin system to bring much needed safe drinking water to Snowflake and then up Big Moccasin possibly as far as the Russell County line.
